so vulnerable to your charms and I will never forget these past months or have any regrets. Give Ralph and Anita my love. Take care, sweet Samuel, and perhaps our paths will cross again someday.

Dr. Carson wiped his eyes and carefully laid the letter back on the file. He leaned back in his big swivel chair and looked at the ceiling. He found this letter on August 30, 1983. Two days later his sister and her husband were killed in a plane crash, and his life was never the same. He had suddenly become a single father at the age of twenty-nine, and had only thought about Dorothy during those lonely nights after he had tucked his new charge into bed, washed the dishes, polished off his lecture for the next day or finished his research and had a minute to himself. When those memories came, he forced himself to put them in the back corners of his mind just as he had tucked this letter in an old file folder in a dusty file cabinet in the corner of a very messy home office. He had never told Samantha about Dorothy. In some ways, he was ashamed to admit he had fallen in love with a colleague who also happened to be married to another colleague who was the closest thing to a best friend Samuel Carson had ever had.
Those times together conducting research in Europe were special times. They had been researching The Rising of the Empire, learning about Vanja Radic, who they both were convinced, was actually a woman, and trying to find any possible remaining copies. This book had caused the author and many people who read it great tragedy and despair. And now his niece knew about the book because a copy somehow miraculously turned up at the home of someone who shared the same last name as his former mistress and her beloved husband. This James Wu had to be related in some way to Dorothy. The woman Unk considered the love of his life.
